T‘ limited opening of the Stock Exchange scheduled for Satur- day next is not expested to provoke any serious financial turbance. The reasun for this is that the rule to be enforced for regulating the prices of stocks offered for sale is the eame as that which now governs the disposal of bonds. In effect, the governors of the Stock Exchange establish an upset price, bids below which will not be entertained. This rule is simplicity iteelf. But it promises the excellent result of making the Stock Exchange « market place for legitimate buyers and sellers instead of a gambling-house where marked cards can be used to bring innocent holders of securities to ruin. We all know the practice of the short seller who offers something he hes not, at prices designed to affect shares held on margin, which can then be picked up at low rates, to be epeedily resold at a fancy “profit. It is thie practice that hae brought the Stock Exchange into from investing in what too often prove to be green gooda instead of genuine securities. By such practices prices are made without regard to value. The word security ought to mean security—in Wall Street no less than elsewhere. The new Stock Exchange regulation will go far to rehabilitate both name and thing—if the rule is made permanent, as it ought to be. oe ‘The most efficient policeman ever known has beep the arc Nght.

S*: of our esteemed contemporaries who have the military bug flout the idea that the militia can be expanded into « fighting force adequate for national defense. One in particular sneers at the minute men. » We seem to recall that the minute man has shown what he can do at a number of trying moments in American history. He “fired the shot heard round the world” at Concord Bridge. He beat the _ trained veterans of Wellington at New Orleans. To say that all the efficiency there can be in war must be sought is absurd. The regular Swise army is very emall—hardly more than 10,000 men of all arms. But—the Swiss Government provides every male citizen between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five with the beat modern rifle it can buy, together with a proper supply of ammunition. Each man must practice shooting at a target and make a record for marksmanship up to Government requirements. Failing to qualify, he must servo a regular term with the colors once a year until his score becomes satisfactory. We do not beliove that even the trained valleys of Switzerland. * It is well known that in the Boer War, had not the ammunition *supplics of the Boers been cut off, they could have held out indefi- nitely against the British. The record of Boer fighting up to the time their powder gave out has never been excelled. * - Time was in this country when each State enrolled every man of military age and required him to turn out on an annual training day, The comparatively small State of Maine had, in 1888-39, 36,000 thus enrolled. Now it has only two uniformed regiments, aggregating | rooms and tnatalled at the top of the stairway leading to the first balcony, It is not possible to make all able-bodied male citizens United States meet in great armories for regular drill as the militia oF ‘pee. And it is possible to make of him s potential military unit of high efficiency. ————— t-* Ipdications are that people are getting back to Work in New York. Dowstown districts seem more populous.

Some husbands are so versatile that they can hold a wife by the nape of the neck with one hand while they reach out with the other to caress © @nother woman. No woman knows all about managing a man until she has been mar ried to him so long that she doesn’t have to try. Greater love hath no wife than this—that she use the same brand of extract as her husband’s sweetheart, so that he shall not suffer fear of discovery. Of course, the mirrors in the chewing gum machines CAN be over worked—but, alas, if a girl doesn’t look at herself in these unromantic days, who will?
